About The Exhibition: Contemplating The Urban

Exhibition curator: Sandeep Biswas

"Pooja has been deciphering and referencing her perspective on urbanization and globalization as a generation that grew up in the national capital of India, witnessing a stark change in the pattern of  the world of consumerism in a span of a few decades. She uses the architectural spaces leading our minds to an unknown space of discomfort and edginess." (curator introduction)

Pooja Iranna is an artist living and working in India. The work included in this exhibition demonstrates Pooja's aesthetic and social postions concerning the environment, urban expansion and using multiple formats including photography, video and video animation she explores the possibility.

Through her work, Pooja Iranna presents man made structures, which talk of human beings, their presence, expressions, mind and emotions without their physical existence. Pooja has been talking of these structure ever since she started her practice almost two decades back . She has been working in many mediums like staple pin sculptures, digital photography and video to explore her buildings and spaces outside and inside.

Five video animations are included in this exhibition.

On VASA Exhibitions:

VASA Exhibitions over the years have provided an international platform for individual and group exhibitions, collaborative exhibitions with various organizations and galleries and exhibitions that follow a particular theme or inquiry such as “Where Do We Go Now” curated by Rui Cepeda and the “Kharkiv School of Photography: Soviet Censorship to New Aesthetics” curated by Igor Manko.

VASA Exhibitions are international and multicultural.  The curatorial team has strived to present work that not only represents the photographers but also the social, historical and cultural.  As an online international project, VASA works to engage various digital tools.  Video, as an example, not only offers the potential for the presentation of works, it provides the opportunity and framework for the voice of the author to be seen and heard.   Through image, text, sound and animation, VASA works to expand the exhibition paradigm and provide a rich experience for the viewer (as well as the author).

VASA Exhibitions provides a viewing and research environment by archiving all of the exhibitions in their entirety. For example, the viewer may view a 2009 exhibition as it was presented and not just traces of its existence.

VASA Exhibitions (a program in VASA) includes images, videos and sound works.
